please put me down for 2, thanks!
Please put me down for two please. Great project
Im in for 1!
Looks awesome. Really hoping power bank is included. That is a huge +1 in my mind.
Interested, depending on price
Looking at the cutaway made me wonder if there would be room to put magnet(s) inside the base to add stability when placed on a car roof or hood or steel topped table. Needn’t be included, but might not cost much to make room for 3 or 4 standard size disc magnets there.
It’s got a tripod hole in the bottom, so you could easily bolt a mounting magnet on. This one would fit a 1/4” tripod bolt: https://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=MMS-A-XC Might be too strong though.
it could have enough space in the cap for magnets, or have a magnet base designed ( that threads into the tripod hole on the lantern as teejay mentioned above) added to the future accessory kit.
I’m in
I was thinking 3 or 4 of something like these would be so much cheaper, unobtrusive, and still leave the tripod mount available.
I would not recommend putting high strength magnets in the lamp. Having space if someone wants magnets is OK; but not as an installed feature.
Why? Easy to scratch metal surfaces (e.g., car body). Will attract various things lying about. Using the light for working around anything that generated tiny bits of magnetic material (e.g., sawing on metal things). They would be very annoying to remove and in the meantime will scratch surfaces.
If you really want magnets on the end, I would suggest something like making a disk with a beveled hole for a flat head screw for the tripod hole. Put magnets on the lantern side, put a non-scratching material on the outside. This will allow significant magnets to be used and no metal edges exposed to scratch anything.
Just a thought.
No, I wasn’t suggesting they install them, just that as it looks like the space is already planned to be there it might be easy to tweak it to fit a common size magnet like the 20 x 3mm discs. More capability for no more cost to the manufacturer.
I do have a couple of lights with tailcap magnets. In general I like them. However, on this light I would rather add a magnetic disc, screwed into the tripod mount socket, when I wanted it rather than have it there all the time. My reasoning is that this light will be set down in the dirt at times. Around here at least, there is a lot of iron in the soil and magnets suck it up readily. You would end up with a bunch of metal “fuzz” on the cap and it is very difficult to clean off.
I don’t want magnets in any of my outdoor gear.
Potentially screwing up my compasses badly, or at best subtly deflecting them, or magnetizing other bits of kit.
I even had to seek out a ’phone case without magnets in the clasp, to avoid making the magnetometer useless.

It already got the 1/4 20 bolt right on there.
Great idea! Purchased one.
Definitely interested.
Pls put me down for 2.
Thanks!
This one has a stronger magnet but is not rubber coated.

This is more expensive but you can drive your car 100mph with the lantern stuck to the front of your vehicle!LOL
